Welcome. But do you wash you locks with anything else in between the soap washes? You should be washing every 2-3 days, not weeks. Washing that infrequently lets oils and dirt build up in your hair, which delays progress, and builds up residues. Clean hair locks up much faster.

And sea salt should only be used if you plan to wash within a few hours. Otherwise it over dries your scalp ad hair, making your hair brittle, and can cause your scalp to become extremely irritated and flaky.
